It felt like death by a 1000 cuts.

It felt like death by 1000 cuts. But now I’m starting over at 50. If you’ve ever been in a relationship that took more than it gave, or if the workplace had you over functioning and depleted, or you’ve struggled to keep work life balance and as a Gen X woman, you are tired, you’ve been through hard things, and you need things to change, than this video is for you. I share a vulnerable story here of how I’ve been through hard stuff, and how I’m using my own frameworks to rise back up. For me, this is about midlife, reinvention, and making the choice to live and work in the next decade and beyond on my own terms. I've spent fifteen years coaching women through hard transitions, business rebuilds, and identity shifts. Then it was my turn. I’m now in an early retirement phase. And testing my own resilience. Knowing the frameworks didn't mean its been easy. But I know I have the best tools in front of me. If you've ever wondered what it looks like when the coach becomes the client — this is that story. IN THIS VIDEO What it's like to live the exact thing you've spent 15 years teaching other women to do My own descension — going above and beyond until my sense of self kept shrinking Building a coaching business on the side as a single mum, through all of it The exhaustion I wanted to disappear into — and for a while, did The small, quiet ways I started reclaiming myself Why walking away from 23 years to fully commit to my own business was still hard, even knowing the map The plot twist wasn't that I struggled. The plot twist was that the struggling made everything I know come together with lived experience. Whether you’re navigating midlife reinvention, rebuilding after divorce, figuring out what’s next after a career ends, or asking whether it’s too late to start a business after 50 — this channel was made for you.
